Hey, friends! Missy here, and I'm so happy it's Friday! Today I wanted to share a layout I created last month as the November Guest Designer for Basic Grey! Yayyyyy! I remember the very first sheet of scrapbook paper I ever bought in my local scrapbook store years ago was Basic Grey, and it was so pretty I never wanted to cut into it. My heart skipped a beat when I received an email from THE Becky Fleck...yes....Becky Fleck!! What!! Of course I said YES!

I used the beautiful new Sunkissed collection. This is one of those pages. I couldn't decide which papers to use first, so I used almost all of them! I cut a bunch of butterflies on my Cameo and placed them on my background paper like they were flying out of the photo. I did some mixed media work on the background using white gesso, gelatos and various spray inks. I used my sewing machine to stitch through the centers of all the butterflies.

I just love these patterns and colors...they are so me! I love them against this beautiful sky blue background sheet. I added in some stickers and die cuts from the collection as well as some tangled thread from my stash.

This awesome "fabulous" die cut is part of the ephemera pack, and it makes the perfect title! I paired it with some of the small pink alpha stickers and then added my journaling below it.

I hope this inspires you in some way to use lots of patterned papers on your layout! Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Lisa here today to share a layout I created for the word up Wednesday challenge over on the forum.
My challenge is to use the word "today" on your page.
I used Simple Stories We Are Family Red Calico/Linen for my background along with Pink Paislee Memorandum and Cedar Lane for this layout of my daughter holding her acceptance letter from the college she was hoping to go to!

Here are a few close ups:

Anything that is touching the big file folder, is only attached to the folder, since I will putting here acceptance letter in it.

Hello! Jennifer here today to share a layout I created with Elle's Studio's Joyful collection from the MSAM shop! I am a big fan of Christmas collections that include other non traditional colors like pink and grey!

I used some of the pink Elle's Studio letter stickers I had in my stash for my title! I thought they went perfect with the colors of the line! I love the colorful stripes on the b-side of Making A List and the fun prints of the Joyful paper!

Here is one of the cute journaling tags from the line to accent my photo! From my stash I used some enamel dots as well as wood veneer star bursts.

I also cut out a little 2x2 square from the Oh What Fun Paper that includes multi-sized cut outs on a 12x12 sheet.

Another cute snippet from the Oh What Fun Page! I am loving the grey and typed print!

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to snatch up this collection before its gone! Use code CLOSEOUT50 for your shopping! Have a wonderful Saturday!

I started with this awesome distressed grey background paper and used a foam brush and acrylic paint to created a few bold brush strokes like Yu-Shan did. I used tissue paper, a little fish-tailed banner piece, a triangle, and I used the same title as she did. Her one large photo was also centered with layers.

I love the mix of colors and patterns in this collection! It's so fun, and the sentiments are really awesome. I didn't have any orange letter stickers, so I used some acrylic orange paint and smudged it on some white Thickers. Worked like a charm!

And as you can see, I decided to add some stitching AFTER I stuck the Thickers down.....and they sort of ripped when I tried to peel them up. I did my best to "fix" them...haha. These little white alpha stickers are from Evalicious, and I just had to add that in there :D

I used a lot of the 6x6 papers for these torn layers. I added in lots of machine stitching, and I also stitched on that "Hello Gorgeous" die cut at the top.

I colored that little arrow with a green gelato, and I traced around the "3" triangle with a black Sharpie to make it pop a little more. I added in a flair button from my stash and then added in some orange tangled thread.

Here's one more close-up of the top. I used my craft knife to slice around the "Stoked" letters so I could overlap them on top of my photo without covering them up. The "haha!" stamp is from my stash....it's from a Fiskars set I found at Michael's.

Here's the process video for this page...I hope you enjoy and get some fun ideas!

Hi there, Lisa here today to share a page I made to highlight a bunch of snapchat and instagram photos of my daughter's recent trip to Kentucky. Because the photos were not of very high quality, I chose to keep them small and make little accordian flip books on the layout. I used Simple Stories papers and Crate Journey and Open Road embellishments for the layout.

All of the photos you see here have more underneath...the large one at the top flips up with the license plate sticker with more photos and journaling. The three photos on the bottom actually hold about 20 more photos in flip out form.
